Lionel Messi leaves the commentary panel lost for words with this beautiful piece of skill to gift Argentina a third goal… 🙌🇦🇷 #ITVFootball | #FIFAWorldCup /2KjMWqMjyAĪfter an amazing setup from Lionel Messi, Julián Álvarez gave Argentina a 3-0 lead over Croatia with the GOAL OF THE DAY. It’s the final dip of the shoulder to come back - that completely unbalances Gvardiol and gives him the half-yard.” “It was genius,” concluded McCoist, who was a striker for Scotland and Rangers. And then he puts it on a plate (for Alvarez).” Off-the-mark speed is absolutely sensational. Gvardiol thinks he’s got him… and then he goes again. “It’s not the pace,” said Dixon, a former Arsenal and England full-back. So how is it that the older, smaller man emerged on top in a one-v-one battle that started just inside Croatia’s half and continued all the way to the byline before Messi inflicted his final insult, a perfect cutback to Julian Alvarez who gobbled up the opportunity to score his second goal of the night? And he tips the scales at 80kg (176lb), making him seven kilos (17lb) heavier than Messi. At 6ft 1in (185cm), he’s six inches (16cm) taller than the Argentinian. The Croatian centre-back is 15 years Messi’s junior.
